    I cheated

    So I started this project two years ago for my brother. I had the sides cut but then realized I didn't think I could cut the slots straight. So it sat around almost two years. Recently I found someone with a CNC machine to cut the slots. He also noticed that the sides were not even and he fixed those for me as well. So this weekend I cut the rabbit for the back. Going to cut the shelves next weekend hopefully. I'm not going to do the through mortises and wedges. Hopefully glue will hold it all together. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever attempted. If it was all square it would have been simple but the slope on all four sides is tough. A full sized drawing (template) would have made it much easier I think and cutting the slots on square sides would have been a lot easier (I think). Anyhow, I hope to get this thing done finally. Got the garage all cleaned up and ready for some work last weekend.
